An Annual worship gathering of 600-800
Christian teens in an intimate retreat setting

Nov 3-5, 2023

Join us for Celebration 2023. Gather with hundreds of friends at the beautiful Kentucky Dam Village State Park for 3 days of worship and fun.  David Skidmore and David Fraze will be bringing lessons from the book of Jonah.  The theme is Awakening. Our speakers will look at the moment Jonah “woke up” to the realization that running from God was getting him nowhere.  We hope our teenagers will be inspired to awaken to God’s work in this world and join Him in it as a result of this weekend. Jordan House will be back to lead our worship and we will have all kinds of other fun things in store.   Register your group on this website before October 15 at $60 a person to ensure you get shirts.  No shirts will be guaranteed after October 15.

Again this year, housing must be booked directly through Kentucky Dam Village.  Do this by calling the park at 270-362-4271 (or book online with group code 4244) to book any type of cabin(s) available for your group before 5pm, Friday, September 29, 2023.  After that date you will need to pay the standard rate.  If you would rather get an AirBnB, Holiday Inn, or Houseboat, GO FOR IT!!  You decide what you want and how much to charge your kids.  Then be sure to register your students online for Celebration and we will see you there!
